Additionally, Olsen Palmer was one of the top-ranked bank M&A advisors across the U.S. in 2022 based on the number of whole-bank M&A transactions upon which we advised while, among those transactions in which the seller had total assets of $1 billion or less, Olsen Palmer was the #1 sell-side bank M&A advisor nationwide in 2022.
